Merry Monday #81

I should have been playing along with this challenge all year, but I guess it's never too late to start.  This week on Merry Monday Challenge they are looking for cards with Santa (The big Guy) on them.  Here is my entry.
I've had this beautiful Santa image for many years but last year I took it off it's wooden block and forgot to save the manufacturer's name, so I can't give you that info today, sorry.  I stamped it in Versamark and gold embossed it.  The background paper is from a 12 x 12 pack I had bought at JoAnn's several years ago and I guess I've lost the cover because I don't know who this is by either. Wow I should get better about these things.  Everything is matted in Real Red by SU! and the poinsettia was made by SB dies.  A JoAnn's gem added to the middle.  it is yellow but I could not seem to grab that color in my photo.   The sentiment is a retired SU! stamp.  I'm really glad I  found time to play along this week as this is a great challenge blog and helps a lot getting your holiday cards done.   Thanks for your visit here today.  Hopefully I will get to "play" some more today in my craft room and be back with another challenge card.  In the meanwhile I wish you all a great day.

  2. This has such a wonderfully classic feel to it. Santa looks terrific embossed in gold, and the neutral tone of the background paper really makes him stand out. Beautiful!

  5. Love the image! Great Santa and the bg paper and flower are wonderful. Another super Christmas card - I should play in this challenge! I have some fun Santa images. Reading your post made me feel at home because I can never find who made my paper if it came from an older pack! Hope you are having a great week! Hugz!
